Areas Creston Animal Rescue Effort/ Creston City Pound Serves
Animal Control services are limited to the City of Creston. Spay/Neuter funding is limited to City of Creston and Union County. Adoptions are limited to the State of Iowa.
Creston Animal Rescue Effort/ Creston City Pound's Adoption Process
Animals are available for adoption after the 10 day stray hold time has expired. There is a $20.00 adoption fee. The State of Iowa requires all animals adopted from this facility to be sterilized and have a Rabies vaccination.
We ask that you fill out an application prior to requests to meet animals. You can print one from our link below or you can email CARE (mdowney@iowatelecom.net) with your name and address and we can email or snail-mail you an application.
Adoptions can not be done through the mail or done as a gift for someone else. The actual adopter must fill out an application and meet with the Adoption Coordinator. The animal must reside at the address on the contract. We can not adopt outside of Iowa as it is too difficult to do home checks and review applications. We give priority to local adopters who own their home and have completed an adoption application. The applications usually take 3-5 weekdays to review so please be patient. We reserve the right to refuse an adoption to anyone.
Call ahead for an appointment, 641-782-2330 and leave a message.

About Creston Animal Rescue Effort/ Creston City Pound
The Creston City Pound is a holding facility for stray/abandoned animals within Creston City limits. Animals are held for 7 days to give owners time to claim their pets. After this time they become available for adoption. Here is where a dedicated group of volunteers come in. Creston Animal Rescue Effort (CARE), established in 1998, helps to get these pets adopted into new, permanent homes. We publish their photos in the local paper, hang flyers around the community, update this website and Face Book, host fundraisers and supply the pets with treats, vet care and love. Please be patient, ALL our work is done by volunteers who have full-time jobs and families. When calling please be sure you speak clearly and leave a phone number. You may also email CARE at mdowney@iowatelecom.net

To reach the pound, go south on Lake Shore Drive (next to McKinley Lake) past the outdoor pool and camp ground, it's the white metal building next to the Creston City Water Treatment Plant at 710 Lake Shore Drive. The pound doesn't have a phone on site. There is no person on duty at the facility so anyone wanting to view animals must make an appointment by calling 641-782-2330 and leaving a message. Messages are returned between 8 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. and again between 7 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
If coming from Des Moines area, take Interstate Highway 35 South to Osceola. (Do not use the Clay Street exit). From Osceola take US Highway 34 West to Creston. Continue on Hwy 34 until you see an old Phillips 66 Station. Turn right on Patriotic Parkway before the Station, make what seems like a U-turn onto Park Street. Continue until you reach a stop sign at an underpass. Turn left onto Spillway Road (looks like a gravel parking lot) continue west until you reach Lake Shore Drive (at the camp ground), then turn left toward the water treatment plant.
